Not always camera ready and it's affecting your content creation? Watch this 👀
If you're struggling with creating content on a consistent basis because you don't have time to put your face on or do your hair then this video is for you!
I learned this little trick many years ago and it has enabled me to remain super consistent for a really long time which has led to massive impact, growth and revenue in my business.
Consistency will always win the race on social media over and above any trend that comes out. This means that consistency is the goal you should be aiming for long term to ensure that your social media works for your business rather than against it.
Let me know what you think!! I'd love to know if you use something similar that keeps you consistent!
White caulk or black caulk, that is the question?
🔵✔️ Meta Verification Update!!
Is it worth it?
Well that depends on what you want to use it for.
I've got first hand experience with this service after I was h4cked back in July 2023.
👉🏻Were Meta helpful? No
👉🏻Could I even get hold of them directly because I had no access to Facebook? No
👉🏻Were we told by their customer service team that" there was no dedicated support for Meta Verified customers"? Yes!! 😱
👉🏻Has it taken 10 months of chasing to get my money back from where the h4ckers used my ad account? Yes 🫣
I use Meta Verified for the blue tick so that you guys know which is my account and which is not and that's it!
All other "perks" aren't really perks from my point of view but what's your view? How do you feel about this?
Let me know 👇🏻
Would you believe me if I said I can't sit in front of a camera and record the video in it's entirety?
I've created, filmed and edited 2061 videos on TikTok in the last 4yrs and well on my way to reaching the 200 million views mark yet, I still can't create video content in one shoot...
And I'm going to lay good money on the fact that you probably can't either...?
I'd stumble, stutter, get things wrong, say random things that have NOTHING to do with the video itself and thus wasting a sh*t load of my time not to mention getting the right hump with myself in the process.
That's the speed bump I had to get my head round in 2020 when it came to learning how to create short form video.
Now, 4yrs on I can go from content idea to a fully filmed, edited and scheduled piece of content in 20 mins MAX.
How? Well that would be the system I created for myself, one that I've now called the Viral Video Snippet System.
Every single piece of content I've created was filmed using this system.
I've been teaching this system to my private clients and it's always a firm fav with those who need to save time (because they are time poor) and those who can't quite get what they want to say out in a sub 60 secs video. The wafflers as I lovingly call them.
Now that it's not just me that's road tested this absolute beaut of a system, I've brain dumped the process into a super short mini course for you all to use too.
I've made this one super affordable at just £47, much to the disgust of my mentor but I want you to have this absolute game changer too.
Because without it, I wouldn't be as successful with video.
In fact, I probably wouldn't be using video content at all!!!

SOCIAL MEDIA IS FAKE 👀
Don't believe everything you see online, the reality is usually a million miles away from what you're being shown on socials 🙄
Facebook is not dead ☠️ you're just using it like its 2018!! 👀
I saw a post from a pretty established business owner this week stating that Facebook was dead and that she was no longer going to bother with it.
Insert eyeroll 🙄
Let me just fill you in on something...
Facebook still has the largest number of users and the widest spectrum of demographics of all the platforms.
With that in mind Facebook also wants its traffic back from the likes of TikTok and what that means for you as a business owner and/or creator is that it's a creator's paradise right now IF you use it correctly.
Think about it, if Facebook wants traffic back from Tiktok what do you think they are prioritising right now?
Yup Reels.
So that's the biggest platform, prioritising short form video and YOU'RE NOT POSTING ANY!!
And then you're complaining that Facebook is dead? 🙄🙄
You've even got some of the biggest TikTok stars now using Facebook because of the harder to grow algorithm on TikTok. Why? Because Facebook is growing massive audiences for creators with EASE.
I've reached 1.3 million people in the last 28 days and I can tell you that 2/3 of it was down the Reels, the rest of it was down to good old fashion text plus image based content.
It's THAT combination of content that's bringing in the massive visibility right now.
If you are stuck for Reels ideas then House of Creation has you covered!!
It's where I dive deeper into current trends and what's happening on socials to give more insights into the specifics of what type of content is working. But I like actionable stuff so I also give you ideas, trending audios and content downloads that create massive engagement that's aligned perfectly to your business.

Ick of the week is here!!
Let's talk about the deadly disease amongst business owners that is Comparisonitis 😳
I truly believe that everyone has struggled with this at some point and it's not exclusive to business.
For many of us we will have experienced this as far back as the playground.
It's so deadly that if you don't figure out how to remove it from your mindset, it mutates and becomes the killer of dreams 😳
👀 The Backlash....
👀 The Backlash...
I was doing a masterclass inside Nicola Peakes mastermind this week and the very first question I was asked is this...
"How much backlash did you get from the gold leggings post?"
My answer, "no more than usual" 🤷🏻♀️
Please remember that you cannot control the trolls and what they say to you but you absolutely can control how you respond and how you allow them to affect you.
After 170 million views, I can tell you I've been called every name you can think of.
I can also tell you that none of them have hurt my feelings.
Not. One.
Much love

Online business owners rule no 1

F*cking you

Will TikTok be banned in America? 🇺🇸
I've been asked this question multiple times over the last few days so I thought I'd address it.
This is not the first time Tiktok has made the headlines about being banned in the US, so this is very much old news for me.
Do I think it'll happen?
I'm a 'I'll believe it when I see it" kind of person.
Am I worried what effect it'll have on TikTok?
Ultimately no, yes the US is the biggest demographic of TikTok but it's not their entire 1 billion userbase.
What I want to educate you on is this...
If you're not repurposing your content you should be and let this be the sign you were never looking for!
Running with one platform, one social media account when you're a business is a really bad idea once you're established.
Your short form video has a place on Tiktok, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, YouTube shorts and LinkedIn to name the the big guns.
If you're creating short form video, it will literally take you an extra 10 mins to repurpose this content to other platforms as it's just a copy and paste job!!
If you don't know how to do that, grab my 100 million views repurpose roadmap and I'll show you how to do it.
Losing platform is never fun and there are various reasons why that can happen but with a little repurposing you'll be building other platforms and expanding your audience with zero effort!
Are you ready for Facebook to monetize your professional profile?
Over the weekend they removed your ability to see your follower account from non-professional mode profiles.
Why?
Well I think this is the next phase in them monetizing professional mode profiles!
Now that you can no longer see your follower account on a standard Facebook profile, if you want to grow your following, view your metrics or use your metrics for brand awareness or brand deals you can only do so by activating professional mode.
Much like a Facebook business page once you activate professional mode on your profile you are literally letting Facebook know that you're some sort of creator, business or brand.
And just like business pages I believe that the next phase to come is them monetizing professional mode profiles.
What do you think? How is this going to play out?
Landscape video is making a comeback over on Tiktok which will ultimately filter down here too.
Wanna know why? Here's my thinking on the subject 🤔
Avoiding these areas means that your viewers will be able to see all your content and it won't be cut off my other text!
